Hi Stas,
These are GREAT URLs for installing mod_perl. I
wish I would have known about them sooner. Whatever.
After reading the DSO section I'm not sure I have
configured mod_perl as DSO. In fact, I'm not sure
what I DO have. The article mentions using:
use DSO=1
for the All-in-one Way, or
--enable-shared=perl
for the Flexible Way.
I have instead
--enable-module=perl
Am I indeed using DSO, or some hybrid (which I
probably shouldn't be using). Please explain.
Thanks.
